During the measurement of an ion, we use a laser resonant with a transition that drives the \(\left|0\right>\)  state to a metastable state. If the ion was in the \(\left|0\right>\)  state, it will scatter photons from that transition in all directions, allowing us to detect it and differentiate the state from the dark \(\left|1\right>\)  state. The scattered photons from a measured \(\left|0\right>\)  state can reach other ions in the ion string, potentially disturbing their quantum state. To avoid this problem, it is possible to apply spectroscopic decoupling pulses on the neighboring ions. During this process, the population in the \(\left|0\right>\)  state is temporarily displaced to a different stable state from the ion energy levels using coherent pulses (See Fig. REF ). In this way, the information stored in the qubit will not be affected by scattered photons from other measured ions. Therefore, we can neglect any effects from measurement crosstalk in our simulations. Further information on the topic can be found in [1]}.
